PLEASANT WORDS.

Our former townsman MIR. w. T.
Robertson, now the editor of the
Rogersville (Tenn) ReviesV, was in
this city the day Of the Presidents
visit, and .haS some very pleasant
things to say of the occasion. He
also has the following kindly words
for this city:
Asheville Of to-day is not Ashe-
vile Of little over two years ago,
when we left it town boasting of
population of four or five thous
and. But it is a city of eight thous-
and inhabitants, with push and
progress written on everything. But
for few old landmarks, that can
not be defaced, we would have nev-
'er recognized the place. Block after
block of fine business houses have
been erected, and residences that
would do honor to any city, has
gone up all over the place. AS it
appeared to rs, the population has
almost, if not quite, doubled itself
since we lett there in June, 1885.
We used to know every business
man in the place, and almost every
citizen living there, but now the
city is full of strangers, who have
gone there and located and are do.
ing business in various parts of the
city.
The Battery Park Hotel is one of
the finest str lctureS in the Southern
States Rnilt npnn q nrnninAnt hill
commanding the finest mountain
view o. the world. it has done
more to build up the place than
has any one enterprise. 1t was
built and finished at a cost of about
and they are still improv-
ing and adding to it. The hotel is
he. ted up with steam and lighted
with electric lights. 1t is more like
a palace than hotel.
Judge E. J. Aston still lives there,
and Asheville of to-day is greatly
indebted to him for its rapid growth
and present prospects. We found
himthe same jovial social and genial
gentlemam as in days OF youth.
AshevilIe without Judge Aston
would b almost dead. They aught
10 elect him Mayor for life.
1t WAS pleasure to us to meet 80
many of our old friends and ac-
quaintdnces. Our hands were all
III 81 is sore as Growers, we had to
shake 50 much, and yet our visit
was so short that we did not get to
see near all.
The city is now lighted with elec-
tric tights. The water works will
be the best in the South IS soon as
they are completed. The building
boom continues.
Mingled with the pleasures of the
trip was one scene of exceedingly
deer sorrow. Just before arriving
at Asheville we Lizard of the terrible
railroad accident at Greer's, S. c.,
in which an old friend and acquaint-
ance. Mrs. Hamp Mcdowell, was inA
startly killed, and others wounded.
The death of Mrs. J. Hamp Nc
Dowell cast a gloom over the entire
city. She was the oldest daughter
Of Mr. VIM. P. Blair. a christian
lady, and loved by ali who knew
her. She leaves a kind husband,
five little girls and host of friends
to mourn her untimely death:

X LINDSEY, Secretary

Some of our friends from the country,
speaking ofSunday's snow, say they re-
member one which fell before the war
none of them remember the year-about
the 18th of October They say the leaves
were still green on the trees, but the
snow was deeper than this last and lay
on the ground longer.
The Raleigh Dispatch correspondent
says:
Steps are to be taken to give Fayette
vile good water supply. Few places in
the State have better or more convenient
sources of supply. Asheville will pro-
badly get water by its new system after
all. Large pumps are being put in, and
these, it is claimed. will be able to lift the
Swannanoa water 400 feet t1 tt reser-
Vior on the mountain.
There has been no difficulty in lifting
the Swannanoa water 400 feet to the
reservoir. That has been satisfactorily
demonstrated, and at one time the stand
pipe was half filled. The trouble was in
the weakness of the pumps first put in
which were unable to bear the continu.
GUS tremendous strain. The new pumps,
now being put up, are expected perfectly
to do their work.

Tax case Decided.

WASHINGTON, April "A decision
was rendered by the United States Su.
preme Court in the important bank tax
case entitled: "The Mercantile National
Bank of the City OF New York Against
the Mayor, Aldermen and Commonalty
of the City of New York. and Geo. w.
Mclean, Receiver of Taxea." This is
one of thirty. five suits brought by the
national banks of New York against
the municipal authorizes of that city to
restrain the collection Oh taxes assessed
upon shares of stock of said banks.
The question raiseG by the case is
wheth' or not the system of laws en-
forced ia this State of New York is in
opposition to section $40 of the revised
statutes of the United States which re.
quires that the taxati IN of shares OF ma
iional banks shall not be at a greater
rate than is assessed upon other monied
capital in the hands of individual citi.
zens of such State This court answers
this question in the negative and affirms
the decree of the court below in favcr of
the State.
This is very important decision to
the State of New York, as taxes to an
amount of more than two million dol
lars are involved and the Nauonal Bank
stoek that is affected bysst amounts, at
par value to more than $4,000, 900. A
similar decision was rendered in the case
of the National Newark Banking Com.
pany against the Mayor and Common
Council Of the city of Newark.
